A title search is a means of determining that the person who is selling the property really has the right to sell it, and that the buyer is getting all the rights to the property (title) that he or she is paying for. Simple as it sounds, it’s one of the most important steps in settling a property. 

The best way to do this is by conducting a Land Title Office search in order to confirm the legal description of the subject, the identity of the registered owner and the holders of any charges and encumbrances registered against it.
